In Wyoming.

I’m here in Jackson, Wyoming. The drive from Idaho Falls (”IF” according to the locals) was actually not so bad - a quick two or three hours on a somewhat scenic road. I had a minor delay at a gas station on the way - couldn’t quite figure out how to open the [...]

Wal-Mart for Fun.

One of my co-workers on this assignment in Idaho Falls is from South Africa. He’s on the second to last week of his 3-month stint in the States, and then he’ll be heading off to the UK with his wife in search of a new job in finance.
An interesting fellow. It’s [...]

Elimidated.

Well, I knew it was coming. And while I had hoped it wouldn’t be in Round 1, it was. It wasn’t meant to be. There was no connection. He was much too short for me… LOL. I’ve never been much of a writer. Those poor grades in high [...]

Hello Potato Land!

In preparation for the three weeks in Idaho, I’ve gotten my fill of various Asian cuisines that I love and know that I will miss. Friday, I had a sushi lunch with the sister. Gotta love the rolls! Friday night, a Chinese banquet sponsored by my company, followed by Coldstone’s. Today, [...]

Tie A Yellow Ribbon

The sister and I used our free film festival ticket last night. I got home a little earlier than usual and really wanted to get out of the house. We had these free tickets from volunteering to be in the trailer. The festival only runs through this weekend, and we didn’t really [...]

Laughter

Saturday night, after much time was spent on deciding whether to go out or not, I went out with my sister and her friends. Yeah, St. Patty’s day, it should’ve been an easy excuse for me to want to go out, but I enjoy being difficult. We hit up a bar in the [...]

Money Matters.

2007 will be a major spending year for me.
$ = just a bit
$$ = 3-digits (mid to upper)
$$$ = 4-digits (lower-end)
$$$$ = 4-digits & up.
LASIK - $$$$ - No more glasses, so it will be worth it! Right now, one thing bugging me about this is the change in schedule that I [...]

Rescheduled.

Yes, you were JUST about to call me to let me know that the schedule had changed and that I’d have to move my appointment. It was just a coincidence that I called in to find out about whether or not I could fly immediately afterwards. Right… I guess I shouldn’t be [...]

1am and 4am phone calls

S is visiting his home country for a week, which means no 1am and 4am phone calls until he comes back. He left today, and I’m already missing him. Hopefully, the weekend festivities and work will keep me busy enough not to notice, except right before I go to bed and when I [...]

SFIAAFF Trailer

Some time ago, my sister and I volunteered to be part of the trailer before each film at the 2007 San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. But you can barely spot us. The video’s pretty busy. There were firefighters, cheerleaders, swing dancers, kazoo players, random people just standing around, a horse [...]
